    I've been doing some annoying pet trade with some girl whom I don't really like; and she friend requested me. The first thing I saw was this girl has been on for 7hrs..? Of course i'm just assuming she's legit. She has a high avatar count, and a good pet; however she lacks trophies much like me. Only has basics and one game one. Her account is 30 months.

    Ahaha I don't know what i'm trying to prove..and I really don't care. I'm just curious. She just doesn't seem all too fully legit to me. But if she is then meh..no judgements made.

    Not telling because you'll just be jealous psshh..
    ..Actually, a lot of legit players spend ages on Neo/Leave the computer on. xD
    I find that's it's quite common though a tad bit peculiar how people can be so obsessed, but at the same time it's possible. But of course there's always the possibility she's ABing or something x)

    The only reason the boards are amusing to me is because I lurk and secretly laugh at how sad these people are :p

    Reselling is quite the lucrative business if you have hours to burn. I've seen 24 hours before z_z

    hmm..i can go for like 2,3 hours on neo..going to boards, sniping, trading posts, some games..but that happens lesser n lesser..

    it's not that strange, if I didn't keep switching between accounts, I might have been online for a month straight. I don't close my browser often, and I use tabs

    I once accidentally left neo open on my computer before I went away for a 2 week vacation, lol. I had a message from one of my neofriends, who was like: "wow, you've been on a long time!"
    :lol:

    I'm pretty legit on my main. I only Igloo AB on a side that I can afford to lose. I spend hours on neopets sometimes, but I also never sign out, just minimize the browser. So if I could see how long I've been online, it'd be long. I also love the boards. I lurk and what not.

    A lot of my friends are on Neo for long stretches. The most I've seen is 40 hours, then her counter got reset xD

    And you can't minimise the window and leave it like that; if the Neo server doesn't receive anything from you for half an hour, it will reset your counter.

    The most I've been online for is 15 hours? Heh. But that was in the past... when I was fully legit. Then again, I'm still legit for the most part now. I'd say... what I did was to restock (that entertains me most of the time), chat on the boards, try for avatars... blahblah. Restocking and chatting was what kept me online.

    And sometimes I'd multi-task with things in real life as well ^^

    I am the same, I get bored really fast. I log on for about 1 hour a day, and that mostly goes to pricing stock while battling.

    One of my neofriends is legit and she is on for at least 10 hours a day, and she never stays logged in longer, due to paranoia of being hacked...lol

    I asked her what she does and she sits in shops, prices, snipes and messages on the boards to let others know she has restocked.

    I think this would drive me nuts...I enjoys my life too much to be on a game all day.

    When I went through my period of being seriously addicted(and playing legit), I could spend 7 hrs straight on Neo easy. Playing games, RSing, trading, chatting, building a gallery, pound sniping... I was all over the place. I'd also have NFs on my bar showing they've been on 10+ hrs very often.

    Now I get bored very easy & find it hard to stay on more than an hour. x)
